Good Inspected 4 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and have positive attitudes to their learning.”
- “They know the school’s values of ‘Be kind, be respectful, be ready’ and learn about these meaningfully through whole school assemblies and the strong personal, social and health education curriculum.”
- “Pupils thrive in response to thoughtful activities that support them with their well-being.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the curriculum is not implemented as effectively as where it is strongest, and staff do not check what pupils have learned systematically.”
- “This means that a small number of pupils do not always build on their prior knowledge and learn as effectively as they could.”
